I don't understand .... I am European and I don't subscribe to this newspaper, but I regularly read articles: I just have to click to accept the terms and conditions and I read. Example>>>>>>:Military-grade spyware licensed by an Israeli company to governments to track terrorists and criminals was used in successful hacking attempts on 37 smartphones belonging to journalists, human rights activists, business leaders and two women close to slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to an investigation by The Washington Post and 16 media partners.
The phones were on a list of more than 50,000 numbers concentrated in countries known to monitor their citizens and also known to have been clients of the Israeli company NSO Group, a fast-growing and largely unregulated global leader in private spyware. industry, the investigation revealed.
The list doesn't identify who put the numbers on it or why, and it's unclear how many phones were targeted or monitored. But forensic analysis of the 37 smartphones shows that many display a close correlation between the timestamps associated with a number on the list and the initiation of surveillance, in some cases as brief as a few seconds.
Forbidden Stories, a Paris-based nonprofit journalism organization, and Amnesty International, a human rights group, gained access to the list and shared it with the news outlets, which conducted further research and analysis. Amnesty's security lab conducted the forensic analysis on the smartphones.
